Honolulu’s Best Private Sailing Charter

Sailing In Oahu
Kaikiwi happy at anchor

Kaikiwi sails from Oahu’s south shore. You will embark at Kewalo Basin boat harbor, not far from Waikiki beach hotels. We sail past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific. The south shore is the protected side of Oahu: calm and crystal clear, making it the perfect sailing destination.

Why go sailing Oahu?

Common marine wildlife sightings on Oahu are for example, Hawaiian green sea turtles, honu, dolphins, nai’a, and humpback whales, kohola (in winter season only). In addition, flying fish, malolo are some of the critters we may see as we sail about the island.

Incredible sights while sailing

Beautiful breathtaking views of Diamond Head are just one of the highlights while sailing Oahu. On clear days, although far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. This is not destination sailing, destination is sailing!

Those cobalt blue waters we sail in (mentioned above) are remarked about with awe every time we go sailing. It’s just as if someone came along and dropped colouring in the water before we sailed. It is exceptional.

Private Hawaii Whale Watch

“It was a fabulous afternoon with tradewind sailing at its best while enjoying our Hawaii whale watch. Captain Gaelyn managed to find two sets of mom and calf humpbacks in the bay. Our private sailing charter was also blessed with dolphins swimming in Kaikiwi’s bow wake. I had read on her website: “watch spinner dolphins surfing the bow wake” but thought that an exaggeration. Nope! much to our delight.”

Honolulu’s Best Private Sailing Charter

“It is perfect in today’s world to sail with Sail Blue Hawaii. We choose Captain Gaelyn and her “Kaikiwi” because of her beautifully maintained sailboat and the “private” sailing charter. Keeping family safe while having fun on the ocean was our priority. Humpbacks, dolphins, turtles, flying fish… all in one fabulous balmy afternoon. When we wrote for information on her private sailing charter, she wrote back:

“Kaikiwi” sails from Oahu’s south (protected) shore, not far from Waikiki, past beautiful coastline in the cobalt blue blue waters of our Pacific.  Wildlife such as green sea turtles, “honu”, dolphins, “nai’a”, humpback whales, “kohola” (in winter season only), and flying fish, “malolo” are some of the critters we may see as we sail. Beautiful views of Oahu, Diamond Head and, on clear days, far in the distance, Molokai and Lanai can sometimes be seen. Please understand this is not “destination” sailing.  “Destination” is sailing.

We didn’t miss out on one single thing in that very wordy paragraph. Cobalt blue blue? Understated! Wildlife? They were all out to play. Molokai and Lanai were both there, yes, in the distance. Destination? Sailing!”

Whether you are signing up for a Hawaii whale watch, a sunset cruise, a sunrise cruise, or just an afternoon of private sailing, write for your custom quote today. Sailing with Sail Blue Hawaii could well be the highlight of your Hawaii vacation. Locals welcome too 🙂

Private sailing charter in Hawaii

There are many reasons to choose a private sailing charter in Hawaii.

You may never know why you go or how it will change you, but listen to this: last night my sunset cruise (repeat) clients said: last time, after their cruise with me, they went home and took up the boating life! Yep, they went and bought a boat! And have spent the last 4 years cruising the Chesapeake. I was thrilled to hear this. I am not saying after you sail with me you will go buy a boat. After all, the best boat to have is someone else’s. 🙂

What’s so thrilling about a boating lifestyle?

It’s not just romance but you sure can find that. It’s not just freedom but you sure will find that. It’s not just sunsets but you sure will soak them in…maybe even see the green flash. It’s not just rainbows but they will deliver your pot of gold. It’s not just hands on the wheel but YES, the wheel is yours. These are just glimpses of the boating life. Whether you are a sailor or a power boater, at the end of the day, it’s the magic there. You’ve sailed or powered to an anchorage far from everyday life. And this is therapy at its best.
